It could indeed be a field mushroom, Agaricus campestris. The cap and ring look too small for a horse mushroom. It's hard to be sure though without seeing more details. There are a few more species of Agaricus, though they are uncommon.

Anyway, I wouldn't eat it!

I agree with Leif. (As usual!)

It's most likely Agaricus campestris, but there are other possibilities and I always like to check microscope characters before being positive about an ID for it.
